The 30 large carrot cakes were baked at Delia Smith’s Canary Catering and were enjoyed by staff, while the shirts, each signed by a player, were dedicated to a ward area or department within the hospital.

“The staff were absolutely thrilled,” the spokesperson said.

A spokesman for Norwich City said: “Our staff, some of which are furloughed, have been volunteering and coordinating the outreach across the county with all registered NHS hospitals and practices.
